The Detroit Lions had two key victories over the Jaguars and Falcons, but they were met with different reactions. The doubters thought they were a mirage, meaningless wins against even worse teams. The believers thought it was a sign that the team was finally on the right track.
After Sunday’s loss to the Colts, the doubters are sitting comfortably.
A 41-21 loss doesn’t reflect well on either the offense or defense, and the tape confirms what the scoreboard hints: the Lions are not a good football team.
